First three overs after patch and final ball boundary bug in every over. You couldn't make it up.
It's not a bug... I think it's a deliberate inclusion whereby the AI have to achieve a certain rate every single over, and if they dont get it, it will script a smash..
Great to see that in 2022 we are finally getting lofted off side shots..
It’s actually good that the AI is trying to score runs when they haven’t scored anything in that over. Plus it’s an opportunity to get a wicket as well.
We all want the AI to get smarter but when it happens people call it scripted.
Yeah because that's how every batsman plays in real life...It's not a bug... I think it's a deliberate inclusion whereby the AI have to achieve a certain rate every single over, and if they dont get it, it will script a smash..
Pacing is spot on in t20's and ODI's,they just seem to struggle to implement 3 or 4 an over in tests.Nah, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, four isn't cricket.. That's not pacing.
I've had the AI do something similar resulting in two batmen at the same end - but the game wouldn't let me run the player out!

True. If that’s happening in a Test Match it isn’t good. But from limited overs perspective, it’s good to have that mindset.Nah, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, four isn't cricket.. That's not pacing.
I do agree, it's as if they have missed five really good balls through lack of skill but all of a sudden turn into the greatest player on the earth to slap it for a boundary when they couldn't hit a cows arse with a barn door.Nah, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, four isn't cricket.. That's not pacing.
What Ross meant was “medium “ pitches not the standard pitch. On all medium pitch hardness types ( apart from grassy ) the ball was bouncing too much like a tennis ball. That meant full green length balls and shorter yellow length bowls would bounce over the stumps limiting LBW & bowled opportunities. It’s better balanced on all the dry and dusty pitch variants but the issue now is that medium hardness and grassy pitches that already had the right amount of bounce is probably bouncing a touch too low now like a soft pitch.After spending most of the last 2 days on various pitch types gathering data, plus playing the first session of a test match on a grassy deck, this pitch has at least a ball and a half width less bounce, maybe even two in fact.
I don't mind it, but this is a grassy deck, not "standard."

It's gone from pre-patch having a standard delivery clip the stumps with Jimmy to the same delivery clattering the stumps full.
As I say, I'm not against it as it's better to bring the stumps I to play, just reporting what I see.
